Over the past week I have been in touch, via email, with our friend Amy Rodgers, who now lives with her family in Ethiopia. (For more on their story, check out their blog at http://www.lakelangano.blogspot.com/ ) God called this family to help run the Sports Camp at Lake Langano and I am trying to help coordinate prayer for them while they are there.
At Camp Langano, there is a clinic and a school that serves the community around Camp Langano. Amy will assist the nurse at the clinic in the baby area called the House of Hope, which is located next door to the clinic. The House of Hope will take in nursing babies that have lost their mothers and/or parents and would otherwise not survive. They will stay at the House of Hope until they are old enough to eat solid food and then will be reunited with their families.
I've been thinking and wondering what would happen to these babies if their parents were not able to take them back in.........
I'm not sure what God is up to and I don't know if He has us in mind for a child from this House of Hope but I am tuned in to his desires for us. My prayer is for these children to be ultimately returned to their families.
Here is an update!!! Hope Adoption Agency received our application on Good Friday and we are looking forward to beginning our home study in May!
Thank you to everyone for your love and encouragement. We could not go through this without ANY of you!
